Directions:

Boil a large pot of water. While water is boiling, take a quart freezer bag (make sure it is a freezer bag so it will take the heat) and write your name on the front of the bag with a permanent marker or pen. Crack 1 - 2 eggs inside the bag. Place the other ingredients as wanted inside the bag also. DO NOT put the salsa in or the sour cream it will go runny. Squish the ingredients up inside the bag by squezzing the bag several times until the egg mixture is well blended. Place the bag on the table and get all the air out of the bag by sliding your hand up towards the ziplock top. Seal tightly. Place in the boiling water. Do not let the plastic bag touch the sides of the pan or it may melt and cause a wet soggy omelette mess. Boil for approx. 5 minutes. Test by smashing the omelette in the bag. If runny let cook longer, if firm it is done. Take a flour tortilla and dump out the omelette onto it and add salsa and sour cream if you want and fold up and enjoy.

Notes:

These are great for camping and at home. They make a large omelette and the best part is you throw away the bag and no pans to wash. You can cook up the bacon and sausage before hand and have it all ready. Make sure you do not add milk or tomatoes as it goes runny and watery.
